When flooded in winter there are big flocks of Bewick's swans and other swans, ducks and geese. It is an excellent place to watch birds of prey; marsh harriers and hobbies in summer, and hen harriers and peregrines in winter.
There are no visitor facilities apart from the car park and a planned information board (there are public toilets on Eastgate and Station Road in Whittlesey).
Opening times
Access at all times along the Nene Way footpath on the bank at Eldernell.
Entrance charges
Free, but donations to help us continue our work here are appreciated.
